Hi, I'm Drake Rogers

I’m a software engineer studying at WGU, a stay-at-home dad, and a builder of spicy tools. Whether I'm developing a hot sauce tracker or navigating late-night parenting chaos, I bring curiosity, craftsmanship, and problem-solving to every challenge. I also offer freelance web and app development services — helping individuals and small businesses bring their ideas to life through clean, functional, and modern digital experiences. If you're looking to collaborate on a project or need help bringing your website or app idea to life, I'd love to hear from you!
